8 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Jacksonville Beach

“Authentic homemade hummus and tzatziki sauce. Food and owner are stupendous.“

“My fiancé chose this place for a random date and I was really glad he did. From the photos from others on Yelp it looked like a place to unwind and relax so I couldn't wait.

The photos didn't lie. This place is nicely tucked away from the Atlantic and San Pablo craziness. Walking in I felt transported to another country. As cliche as that sounds I don't have any other way to describe it. I love the items imported straight from Turkey for sale (the staff are true salespeople as they really wanted me to purchase something. They were beautiful but I didn't see anything that I HAD to have). In the back. the wisteria hanging from the ceiling and the middle eastern sofa for lounging and maybe for some snacks and hookah made it seem so cozy. I loved all the decor.

The first thing we got was the Turkish Coffee that was heated in hot sand. The guy serving us, I wasn't sure if he was the owner or not was really great. He warned us not to ingest the coffee grind/powder/sludge on the bottom but that we'd really enjoy the taste. That was perhaps the best tasting coffee I've ever had not to mention it was nuclear hot.

We got the Charcuterie for 2 which had lebna or lebneh, cheddar, gyro meat which I thought was shawarma but it wasn't, grape leaves, hummus, fruits and crackers with a side of honey and pita bread slices. I don't remember having lebna before but I loved it. There were some extras we got like the mozzarella balls, the ful medames, olives, and I believe some kind of date cakes. Trust me. We were good after eating all of this. My fiance also had Lentil soup which he said was nice and simple.

Definitely had a wonderful experience.“

“This is my first time visiting cava! My friend go there all the time and invited me to lunch. We go in , it was very clean and busy! The lady on the first station was kind of rude and wasn’t really helping out with my questions . I didn’t let it bother me. I continued to order and we got our drinks . In the middle of getting our drinks the manager JAMAR walk to us and ask was everything ok. We proceeded to tell him our problem , and he resolved it immediately! JAMAR was helping , had tons of knowledge about the menu and answer all my questions ! If it wasn’t for him I would not go back ! But he was a pleasure!! I’ll definitely be back for more !!!!!!“
